Definitions
- SARS-CoV severe acute respiratory syndrome
- SARS-CoV encodes two RNA-dependent replicases Ia and Ib, a spike (S) protein, a small envelope (E) protein, a membrane (M) protein, and a nucleocapsid (N) protein, as well as nine predicted proteins that lack significant similarity to any known proteins.
- the WHO classification for SARS infection in adults is based on four different criteria: fever, respiratory symptoms, close proximity to infected individuals and radiological evidence of lung infiltrates (3).
- RT-PCR reverse transcription-PCR
- ELISAs Indirect ImmunoFluorescence Test
- RT-PCR is sensitive and specific and useful during the period of infection (4-7).
- samples such as nasopharyngeal or bronchial alveolar aspirates from SARS patients is a dangerous procedure that can put health care workers at high risk.
- ELISA assays tend not to be highly sensitive and usually require large amounts of sample (8-11).
- existing ELISA assays such as one manufactured by Euroimmun, use whole viral extracts, thereby increasing the chance of false- positives due to cross-reactivity with proteins from other viruses and resulting in misdiagnosis.
- a IIFT kit Euroimmun, Germany
- IIFT limitations include (1) difficulty in diagnosis in the urgent acute phases of the disease, (2) failure to diagnose ⁇ 5% of sera that contain high concentrations of anti-nuclear factor, and 3) visual inspection of fluorescently stained cells which is both subjective and of modest throughput. Thus, more tests for diagnosing the disease need to be developed.

- Example 1 Development of a coronavirus protein microarray and a SARS detection assay A protein microarray approach was developed to rapidly identify SARS-CoV and other coronavirus-infected patients with high sensitivity and accuracy. Gene or gene fragments that cover the entire genome of SARS-CoV, and the majority of the HCoV-229E and MHV A59 genomes were amplified using PCR and cloned into a yeast expression vector that expresses the viral proteins with glutathione-S-transferase (GST) at their N-terminus (Fig. 1). Using the limited sequence information available at the time, regions of the BCoV, HCoV-OC43 and FIPV genomes were also cloned (Fig. 1).
- GST glutathione-S-transferase
- Applicants fabricated a microarray containing the 82 purified proteins.
- Serial dilutions prepared from four serum samples collected from Chinese patients who were clinically diagnosed as SARS-positive and who also tested positive by a local ELISA assay (one very strong positive, one medium, and 2 weak) were used to probe the array.
- the presence of human anti-SARS antibodies was detected with Cy-3 labeled goat anti-human IgG antibodies (12-16).
- the sensitivity of the microarray assay is extremely high; reactivity is readily detected at 1 : 10,000 fold dilution for the strong positive serum and 1 :800 for the weakly positive sera.
- the assay is approximately 50-fold more sensitive than ELISA assays performed using the same sera.
- less than l ⁇ l of serum is needed for the protein microarray assay, which is crucial since the sera from SARS patients are extremely precious.
- the coronavirus protein microarrays were used to screen sera from 399 Canadian and 203 Chinese infected and non-infected individuals in a double blind format.
- the Canadian samples included 181 clinical and laboratory-confirmed SARS- CoV sera (see methods) (3), as well as anonymized clinical samples from patients who had presented with respiratory illness during the outbreak period, but who failed to meet the case definition, and did not develop SARS.
- Other S ARS-Co V-negative sera were from asymptomatic healthcare workers.
- the Chinese sera were from patients with fever during the SARS outbreak; some of these were classified as SARS-positive and others as SARS -negative.
- each of the 82 purified coronavirus proteins was spotted in duplicate on eight identical blocks per microscope slide. Human IgG protein was also included as positive control (see below).
- the amount of immobilized coronavirus proteins and protein fragments present on the microarray was quantified by probing with anti-GST antibodies (Fig. 2B). Reactive protein was evident for each protein.
- the serum samples were screened at a 200-fold dilution, and the bound antibodies were detected with Cy-3 labeled goat anti-human IgG. The signals were analyzed using algorithms Applicants developed. Positive sera usually exhibited strong reactivity for approximately 10% of the proteins on the microarrays.
- SARS-N-C2 The full-length and two C-terminal derivatives of SARS N-protein were strongly recognized by the antibodies present in the SARS-CoV infected patient sera, but not in sera from non- infected individuals (Fig. 2B).
- the SARS-CoV infected sera from the Chinese and Canadian patients showed little cross-reactivity with proteins of other coronaviruses. including N proteins, on the array.
- One exception is that many (88%) of the sera from the Chinese patients showed a slight reactivity to the first half of BCoV N-protein, which shares -40% identity through its first 210 amino acids with the SARS-CoV N protein.
- the sera from infected Canadian patients did not react with this protein, hi addition, approximately 20% of the sera from both SARS positive and negative Canadian individuals specifically recognized the HCoV-229E N protein, but not the N proteins from the other species. We expect that many Canadian patients may have been exposed to HCoV-229E (see below).
- a mouse-infected serum recognized the MHV A59 N protein, whereas control mouse sera did not react with proteins on the array.
- This serum also cross-reacted with the N protein from BCoV, and not with proteins from other coronaviruses. Since the N proteins from MHV and BCoV share 70.7% identity and 87.9% similarity over their entire protein sequences, cross reactivity between these two proteins is not surprising.
- Applicants analyzed the results obtained from the Canadian patients using computational approaches.
- the sera were first clustered according to the relative signal intensities of all the coronavirus proteins immobilized on the microarrays in an unsupervised fashion(17).
- the sera fell into two major groups, which upon subsequent comparison with clinical IIFT data were largely correlated with SARS-positive and SARS-negative sera (Fig. 3).
- the unsupervised method correctly predicted 138 of 181 infected serum samples (76% sensitivity, with sensitivity defined as the percentage of correct positives of the total positives), and 210 of 218 sera from healthy individuals (96% specificity, with specificity defined as the percentage of correctly classified negatives out of the total negatives).
- k ⁇ NN measures the similarity between a new case and all the known cases to make a prediction, and is determined by the identities of its 'k' closest neighbors (Fig. 4A).
- Fig. 4A five features were selected by the algorithm as the best classifiers: SARS N (pEGH-55 (Y)), SARS N (pEGH-B4), SARS N-Cl (pEGH-B7), 229E-S 1/4, and SARS S (1st half (Y)) (note that 229E-S1/4 negatively correlates with SARS).
- LR Regression
- LR is a generalized linear regression for binary responses (Fig. 4B).
- the features selected by LR included SARS N-Cl (pEGH-B7), SARS N (pEGH-55) (Y) 5 SARS N (pEGH-B4), and SARS N-C2 (pEGH-B8 #1).
- the accuracy of this model was 92% (89% sensitivity and 94% specificity).
- k-NN or LR performed better, Applicants took advantage of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC)(21) (data not shown), and plotted the rate of true positives against that of false positives at different cutoff points.
- the quality of the model was measured using the area under the curve (AUR).
- the microarray approach was also compared with a local ELISA used in China that used only the purified N protein.
- a set of 147 serum samples collected from fever patients during the SARS outbreak in China was used to probe the coronavirus protein microarray. The SARS status of these patients is not known. Similar to the results presented above, Applicants found 85% agreement between the predictions made from the microarray assay and those made from the ELISA; all 70 sera that were SARS-CoV positive by the ELISA were also positive by microarray. The microarray identified an additional 21 sera as SARS-CoV positive that were not found using the ELISA.
- a serum test relative to a nucleic acid diagnostic test is that anti-SARS antibodies can potentially be detected long after infection. Applicants therefore tested how long anti-SARS antibodies remained present in recovering patients post infection. Serum samples that had been drawn from five Canadian individuals (two respiratory illness other than SARS and three confirmed SARS-CoV cases) at different times post-infection were tested using the protein microarrays (Fig. 5). Reactivity to 5 N proteins (4 SARS N proteins, and one CoV-229E N protein) was scored. Sera from non-SARS patients (1 and 4 in Fig. 5) did not exhibit significant reactivity to any of the five SARS-CoV markers.
- Example 7 Extending the protein microarray approach to detecting other coronaviruses
- HCoV-229E proteins from other human coronaviruses, such as the HCoV-229E, were included on the microarray, thus, allowing the detection of antibodies directed towards other coronaviruses (25-27).
- HCoV-229E related proteins as classifiers, Applicants identified 82 serum samples with substantial signal (52 of 218 S ARS-Co V- negative (23.9%) and 30 of the 218 SARS-Co V-positive sera (13.8%).
- the presence of 52 HCoV-229E positive sera in SARS-CoV-negative patients suggests that these patients were or had been infected with the HCoV-229E.
- Serum samples The 399 serum samples tested from Canada included 40 acute and 164 convalescent sera from 92 patients who met the clinical and laboratory criteria for SARS-CoV infection during the Toronto SARS outbreak in 2003. Sera from 112 Toronto patients who presented with non-SARS respiratory illness, and 83 sera from health professionals were also included. None of the acute, all 164 of the convalescent and 17 of the sera from 12 healthcare workers demonstrated IgG antibodies as detected using the Euroimmun IIFT test. All positive results were repeated and any unexpected result was confirmed using the SARS-CoV neutralization assay. The Chinese samples were collected from several hospitals in Beijing by the BGI. These sera were collected from 147 non-confirmed fever patients and 56 respiratory patients (36 confirmed SARS-patients and 20 none-SARS individuals). Gene cloning from the coronaviruses
- SARS-CoV Generas of viruses
- the SARS ORFs were amplified by RT- PCR from the SARS-CoV isolate BJOl and cloned into pGEM-T.
- the SARS ORFs were further cloned into a yeast GST expression vector (pEGH) described previously (12). The same approach was used for the cloning of other coronavirus genes. All clones were confirmed by sequencing their inserts.
- Protein purification and protein microarray fabrication The constructs were transformed into yeast and proteins were purified as described previously (13). The GST fusion proteins were eluted into printing buffer containing 20% glycerol in 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.0). For samples that exhibited low yields, the purification was repeated using 50 ml cultures and/or up to 4 times.
- the coronavirus protein microarrays were fabricated by spotting the purified proteins along with positive control proteins onto 8-pad FAST slides (Schleicher & Schuell, Germany) using a microarrayer (Bio-Rad, USA). The printed arrays were allowed to sit at 4° C overnight and stored at -20° C.
- Cy3- and Cy5-labled anti-human IgG and IgM antibodies were incubated on microarrays at 1000-fold dilution. The arrays were washed with PBS buffer, briefly rinsed with water, and dried. The slides were scanned and signals analyzed using the GenePix Pro 3.0 software.
- X-Nearest Neighbor stores a group of known cases and classifies new instances based on a similarity measure (19).
- the new instance is classified according to the identities of its nearest neighbors.
- the number of the neighbors is determined by the parameter k, and the similarity is measured as the Euclidean distance using the signals of the classifiers.
- the best parameters were selected in the learning process and applied in the predicting process. In the learning process, all parameters including possible k's and candidate classifiers were tested and their performance was evaluated by ten fold cross validation to find the best values (29). In the prediction process, the k nearest neighbors were retrieved for each new instance, and classifications were made according to the memberships of the neighbors.
- Logistic regression is a generalized linear regression model designed for binary responses(20). However, no missing values for the candidate features are allowed in model construction; thus the number of sera analyzed ( ⁇ 370) was less than the total screened.
- the candidate features were selected by the model using both-direction stepwise search with Akaike information criterion (30). We performed this analysis using S-Plus 6.1 software that selected the top four features out of the candidate list for the prediction step. Finally, the probability of each serum to be positive was calculated using those features, and those that had a value greater than 0.5 were classified as SARS-CoV positive.
